Point Rental Liquidators SCAM- Guy Russell & Brandon "B.J." Cooke (by Boobie R.):

From what I've found out is that R&R Venture Group, LLC entered into a arrangement with Sunset Harbor in Texas to buy Units (inventory) to sell. R&R Venture Group opened a office calling it the Regional Office under Sunset Harbor's name. Then the owner of R&R Venture Group, Guy Russell had Business cards with Sunset Harbor's name on them for his sales people made (order through Sarah Rutten). Russell then hired a computer guy to set up all the contracts using Sunset Harbor's name and address. Because thats what his guys were selling. (he did this with different resorts.) All paychecks came from R&R Venture Group, LLC. All W-2's / 1099's etc. came from R&R Venture Group, LLC. All refunds were handled by Lisa Benza who worked for Guy Russell. Every time R&R Venture Group, LLC sold a unit Sunset Harbor would get paid for it. Meanwhile, Sunset Harbor had nothing to do with Guy Russell's office staff, sales teams or the creating of PRL. This has been gone over and over by many many lawyers, RCI, AG's and the Texas Real Estate Commission. Did people like Hughes Dewailly & Pat Thompson get paid for selling Sunset Harbor Inventory ? YES, but not paid by Sunset Harbor, they all were paid by R&R Venture Group, LLC. They also were never paid by PRL. Only R&R Venture Group, LLC. The contract was and is VALID, because they were selling a timeshare unit just like the rest of the world sells. The PRL contract is the problem, no body ever got paid by PRL for selling the points. PRL was owned by R&R Venture Group, LLC, Robert Guy Russell's company. once again, Tinak117, your parents were scammed, but like them they have scammed everyone from the start. and they have been doing it for years. This thing is still going to court, lets all pray we see something comes out of this. RCI is worried that Guy and Nonna Russell & Brandon B.J. Cooke won't be found. Vacation Villas, Sunset Harbor and many other resorts were scammed just like you , me and 1000's of other. Wish I could say more now but I will say more is coming very soon. Hang in there.

"Unfortunately, BOA still has not received any requests for credits or refunds from SHR. What I have found out is that PRL did not receive any of my parents' money, SHR did, so BJ/PRL can't issue a refund. The refund will have to come from SHR. Apparently, SHR paid commissions to Hughes Dewailly & Pat Thompson (brokers/sales reps). Hughes & Pat are the main "bad guys" here, but SHR should issue refunds because they've been made aware that Hughes & Pat are lying to people to con them into signing the contract, which our lawyer says makes the whole contract invalid. I've been researching (and filing complaints and posting on bulletin boards) for a month now and I have learned a lot. I am still hoping to get this resolved for my parents. I will keep you informed".
